Casket and Headstone Costs. Caskets are unquestionably more expensive than cremation urns. Many caskets are priced in the $1,000 to $2,000 range, with a select few options for a budget between $500 and $1,000.
Shoulderbone Plantation. Shoulderbone Plantation is on the Greene/Hancock County line. It's history can be tracked back to 1796 when the land was given to William Knowles in the form of a land grant for services rendered.. Mr. Knowles kept the land until 1832 when he sold it to William Jackson.
As more and more cotton lands came under cultivation, especially in Mississippi and Texas, the demand for slaves boomed. By 1860, a mature male slave would cost between $1,000 and $2,000. A mature female would sell for a few hundred dollars less. Slaves worked at all sorts of jobs throughout the slaveholding South, but the majority were field hands on relatively large plantations. Men, women, and children served as field hands.
